It was a matter of rules and consequences, he said. On Jan. 24, Kevin Hadsell, the director of the University of Toledo's men's and women's cross country and women's track program, announced his resignation, a move that was as mysterious as it was abrupt. Hadsell had been at Toledo since 1998, and in the intervening… »2/12/13 2:45am 2/12/13 2:45am

It has been 148 days since we first informed you of Lynn Hoppes's copy-and-pasting habits. And dear reader, it's over. All it took for ESPN to acknowledge the widespread plagiarism in its archives was for the company's news honcho, John Walsh, to float a rumor in front of a class of journalism students that I was… »12/06/12 10:45am 12/06/12 10:45am

LOS ANGELES—On Nov. 5, ESPN Senior VP Joan Lynch woke up in her home to find a front tire of her vehicle slashed. This is notable for two reasons. The first is that Lynch lives in the Pacific Palisades, which is not the sort of neighborhood where one gets one's tires slashed. The Palisades is west of Brentwood; it's a… »11/14/11 6:25pm 11/14/11 6:25pm

Last month, ESPN announced it was eliminating its bi-coastal, 25-person Content Development department, which was responsible for the network's 30 for 30 series, among other things. The head of the group, Keith Clinkscales, ESPN's senior vice president for content, development, and enterprise, left the company to… »11/02/11 5:38pm 11/02/11 5:38pm

The finale of the C-Roll brings us, presumably, to what we now call Sun Life Stadium, where young love once possibly blossomed in the back row of some forgotten section—the details are now lost to history. There's no game audio attached to this one, so there's no way to determine when it was shot, or what kind of… »9/27/11 8:00pm 9/27/11 8:00pm

We are nearing the end of the C-Roll footage, America. After today, only a single clip remains, so please, gather 'round to celebrate this disgusting national treasure. We've seen it all, haven't we? SkyDome sex, cheap seat sex, bleacher blowjobs, and possible flagpole sex. And you can't un-see any of it! »9/23/11 8:00pm 9/23/11 8:00pm

The origins of the C-Roll, from which we've been posting excerpts all week, are a bit of a mystery. We know, thanks to our anonymous contributor, that the video had "been passed around throughout the years" and added to by various production assistants and cameramen. Somewhere along the way, though, one of those… »9/21/11 8:00pm 9/21/11 8:00pm

Here's Part One of the C-Roll excerpts we'll be posting all week. Today, you'll see the infamous Lucy Lawless boob slip (from her national anthem at a May 1997 NHL game in Anaheim), an unidentified boob slip, and some sex above the SkyDome during a Red Sox-Jays game. »9/19/11 8:00pm 9/19/11 8:00pm

Oh, 1997. Back when we thought murdering Vince Foster was the worst our government could do. Back when we could watch both Mad About You and Caroline in the City. Back when the Red Sox were so mediocre and uninteresting that over-the-jorts horndoggery could occur in a half-empty Fenway Park. These were the lean years… »8/07/11 3:00pm 8/07/11 3:00pm

Two weeks ago, after serving as ESPN's show pony during their annual ESPY Awards, Michelle Beadle hit many of the late-night parties around Los Angeles. She readily admits that. After all, she hadn't gone out at all after last year's event. And she even admits that, upon her return from L.A., she was summoned into the… »8/03/11 6:05pm 8/03/11 6:05pm

This aired as the lead-in to the third quarter on tonight's broadcast of Heat-Bulls. I suppose the game is in Miami, and perhaps that is what people do down there, but it still seems a little uncouth. (And the network cut in with a clipped Marv Albert voiceover, so this was probably inadvertent.) »5/24/11 11:05pm 5/24/11 11:05pm

The main takeaway from Glanville's nice Times column about Tiger is that even middling outfielders and self-confessed nerds who liken their sexual awakening to "finding Batman's belt in the lost and found" — yeah, even they get seriously laid. [NYT] »12/28/09 6:00pm 12/28/09 6:00pm
